BR change v2

[Gregory Rainsborough]

So I see that BRs have been changed but not improved.

When are BRs going to be improved?

[OjK]

Promise an introduce of 2 new 3rd rates!

Make them useless with even more 20k port battles!

[Gregory Rainsborough]

It's worse than it was before lol!

"We want smaller battles"

Here, have some larger ones.

Maybe we need to be a bit more clear on what exactly it is we want, I suggest we start using larger fonts on suggestion threads.

for example:

Stop implementing changes exclusively for the benefit of PvP players.

Maybe add a bit of color and some flashing effects.

@Winterthrust well, to be fair there is no PvE RvR, so this time You kinda missed the point

This is all about the PvP here

 

[Gregory Rainsborough]

It's not for the benefit of PvP players, it's for the benefit of Russian nation PvP players.

[Mr Pellew]

While we're at it: I suggest detailed patchnotes so we actualy know what new buildings etc do.

Yes there is PvE RvR. Just indirectly.

Also...

you did not notice yet BR not only have been raised, but in some cases lowered? Carriacou has now 5000 instead of 10000 BR, at least on our map...

Community was asked for feedback on BRs. There was an extensive list of small to medium changes which people kind of agreed on to make RvR more fun. One of them was changing BR limits of Ports, but the bigger one was changing ship BRs as with the current combat model and BR everything but 1st rates is useless in RvR. 

Lowering regional ports is nice but it doesn't change the fact that, besides Russia, GB and Sweden, everyone struggeles to get 25 or even 20 player to play Portbattles.

I noticed exactly who this change benefits the most but since I've already been branded a racist I'm trying not to make reference to specific nations.

[Gregory Rainsborough]

Useless ports had BRs lowered but everything else was raised.

Devs have basically done the equivalent of stabbing a man who already needed surgery for being recently stabbed.

And don't forget the new wood!

Let's rebuild all the ships, with new seasoned wood, giving You even 10% more extra HP!

[Gregory Rainsborough]

Yey, all old ships are obsolete!

Fire sale at NB!

[Gregory Rainsborough]

Months of feedback and this is the nonsense we get.

I bet it gets pretty lonely on that hill. PvP is the only thing that matters in this game, the devs have admitted that.

NPC port raids?

[Busterbloodvessel]

This thread, laced with passion, satire, dark humour, ban-tight-roping and wounds of the 5000 hour NA player, has given me a few chuckles.

Thanks guys, I reckon your becoming a breed.

It will be very difficult for any port owner to get enough experienced 1st rates together in same nation to defend the increased number of 50 point ports (today's patch) against the NPC raiders.

[Mad Dog Morgan]

I distinctively recall the community preference was for less mod stacking and buffs not more.  Just glad I haven't wasted a minute of time taking part in any of it since release. Unfortunately NA in it's current state just isn't worth the time and effort.

Think it will be a while before we see the new 1st rates in large numbers. 3600 tools takes a while to buy and move and that's just for one 1st rate. Not to mention the cost, 7 Mil in reals for tools and an additional 10k doubloons in seasoned woods. (Speaking from the RVR point of view)

Smaller ships yes, but again only the richest players/many alts will be able to push out seasoned wood ships in decent numbers 

But this is almost a slightly better copy of the fine woods, and we all know how well that went
